The British High Court has granted WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange the right to appeal to the UK's Supreme Court in his extradition case, seeking a ruling on whether Stockholm's public prosecutor is an independent judicial authority as required by international law.

How do I know that Interpol, Britain and Sweden's treatment of Julian Assange is a form of theater? Because I know what happens in rape accusations against men that don't involve the embarrassing of powerful governments.

Julian Assange has certainly broken his share of hard news, but by publishing these cables as they were obtained, he proved himself a fanatic incapable of distinguishing between newsworthy content and details that endanger people working to make the world safer.
